Figure 1From: Solid-surface vitrification is an appropriate and convenient method for cryopreservation of isolated rat folliclesViability assessment of isolated follicles after cryopreservation. Through the viability assessment, isolated follicles were classified into three categories. A, totally viable follicles: follicles with oocyte and all granulose cells viable (1 and 2 showed the images obtained for the same follicle with two filters to visualize green fluorescence or red fluorescence for live or dead cells, respectively); B, damaged follicles: follicles with a viable oocyte and dead granulosa cells; and C, dead follicles: follicles with both oocyte and granulosa cells dead.
